i am using a 8 foot end hose that reduces down to 3 inches on the end, can anyone tell me how to get the concrete from splashing so much, i tried changing pumping speeds, different slump but whoever is on the end of the hose always gets burried in concrete if anyone has a solution please let me know.............

How high is the tip of the hose to the deck? Maybe your dropping the concrete to high off the ground.

If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

Tell the costumer to order some anti splatter in his concrete.

Ore let them wear safety glasses.

i try to keep the hose up only about a few inches

try to use traffic cone wrapped round the end hose, thats what im using especiaaly when sensitive people around,,,,

Don't pump it so wet.

3 inch reduction 3, 16 penny nails down at the last 4inchs double head nails work good and are easier to get out.

You might try setting your rpm's at 1400 or maybe higher depending on your machine and then adjusting your volume control until the hose runs full. After it runs full sometimes you can back it down a little and it will stay full. A lot depends on the slump too. In my experience the wetter it is the faster you have to pump to keep the hose running full.

thanks guys for all ur help i'm a newbe at this and i'm after learning alot from u guys...... i'll try pumping at a lower slump see if that works but the customers keep telling me to use an s pipe one the end of the rubber hose but i don't want to get into that....

slit the side of the hose up 1 ft close the hose down with your hand duct tape it you are reducing the diameter ot the hose only use duct tape case it pressures out the duct tape will relieve the pressure do it all the time with a 5-4 reducing hose because i have no 3 in whip works great hope this helps

Remember it's a concrete pump and splatter is the game.A 5" to 3" hose,goodness,what do they want ?.Keep the hose about there knees,close enough.The slump is important,the boom angle,pumping speed.Going to 3" should be a walk in the park.

May well be nothing to do with the pump, some soft sanded mixes will splatter no matter what u do to the mix

Hey Dave, Hope these suggestions have been helpful to you. If you're ever in need of some concrete pump primers or other products, please check out Enviro-Systems' website and you can request some product samples from us. Let me know if we can do anything to help.

yup thanks

turn up your volume a bit  i pump with a 3 hose alot for residental jobs 8 foot hose seems kinda short 10 or 11 would be ok

tell the hoseman to never let the hose hang straight down. Always push it a little bit so the crete falls in an angle. So you also have to drive the boom so that he always has to push the hose.

try the nails ,it works.

You can do what you want but I would think twice about punching holes (nails) or cutting slits in an $1800 hose. I use a 5 to 3 reducing hose a lot and love it, it should be fairly easy to keep full. As Many said splatter is the name of the game, it will happen, doesn't mean you shouldn't try to minimize it but it will happen. If you're pumping wet concrete 6 1/2" slump or wetter pump faster, if it's dry 4" or less pump slower. Don't be afraid to experiment a little. Keep working at it, you'll get it.

I dont want to be a ass. BUT, It is concrete work. If they dont want to get dirty work at 7/11. It does not matter what you do. everyone will complain
